Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Incredibly subjective grading, useless lectures, forced participation, group projects that force you to rely on complete strangers for a shared grade, excessive and boring readings, and contrived material. There is no required coding, instead you are treated to an endless wave of busy work and powerpoint presentations. This should not be a CS class

Quality 2/5Difficulty 2/5
Irene reads straight off her PowerPoint slides so lectures are pointless. Sometimes there are group activities which are pretty useless. Grading is a huge mess. There is a rubric but the grading is just based off your classmates performance. The readings are excessive and not helpful. The majority of the class is working with an assigned group.
